I don’t know about you, but I watch a TON of Food Network shows. If I am not watching something on Netflix with Kevin, it is pretty much on 24/7. I especially love the competition shows, with Chopped being right at the top of that list.
I like to think that I would be able to pull a dish together in a split second, but when they have things like chicken livers with black licorice?
Ummmm ya……I would be stumped!
That is why I am super excited Sargento asked me to be a part of the Chopped at Home Challenge again this year!
It gives this at-home cook a chance to do what I love, create great food with real ingredients.
In this years “basket” we have
- Pork tenderloin
- Broccoli
- Grape/Cherry tomatoes
- Sargento’s Chef Blends 4 State Cheddar Cheese
Oh, and the theme is grilling.
WOW, this one kinda threw me for a hot second.
Pork tenderloin grilled?
Broccoli and tomatoes on the grill? Ummmmm
Cheese on the grill?
But once I really put my thinking cap on, and kicked it into high gear, I knew exactly what I wanted to do.
I pounded out that tenderloin, smeared it with fresh homemade broccoli pesto, and stuffed if full of Sargento shredded cheese.
Did you know that Sargento cheese is available in 30 different varieties, blends and distinct cuts? And Sargento Shredded Cheese is always cut from blocks of 100% real, natural cheese. There is no “cheese food” going on here peeps!
I don’t know about you, but real food is important to me. I want to know exactly what is going into mine, and my families, bodies!
Of course the G-baby could care less about all of that stuff, she just enjoyed cramming handfuls of the Sargento’s Chef Blends 4 State Cheddar Cheese into her mouth.
She is Nana’s cheese girl
In the end I had a total blast with this recipe!
I got to take out some frustrations on pork tenderloin with a meat mallet, stuff some pretty delicious things into it, and play on the grill.
The result was a mouthwatering, cheesy, melt in your mouth pork tenderloin, with some amazing smoky grill roasted cherry tomatoes on the side.
